Energy and Emissions

We will reduce our carbon footprint in all countries where we operate and at client sites.

Why Does Sodexo Engage?

Global climate change is real and impacting people around the world, including the countries and communities where we have our business. Reducing emissions linked to climate change is important for our clients, consumers, and communities as well as for the environment.

How Does Sodexo Engage?

Sodexo continues to progress on its commitment to reduce carbon emissions in its operations and at client sites by 2020. Through its partnership with World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Sodexo created a new methodology to calculate the carbon embedded in its operations and supply chain. This information has allowed Sodexo to set a target to reduce carbon emissions by 34% from its operations and supply chain between 2011 and 2020.

Energy Savings Initiative

Sodexo offers include a device that fits over the thermostat probe of a food refrigeration unit, allowing the unit to respond to the temperature of stored food and not air, reducing energy consumption up to 30. That reduces electricity bills and the CO2 emissions associated with power generation for our clients.
